Oh my! I think you might get a lot of replies with this one. ;)

Unfortunately, this is one of my "pet peeve" type names. Not only is it uber-trendy and popular with people who, oddly enough, think it is unique and different (it's not), but it's also an oddly made-up name (heaven spelled backwards) destined to forever be just that. Anytime you see the name mentioned, it is invariably followed by the subtitle (heaven spelled backwards) ... kind of a running joke, KWIM? Also, despite the supposedly obvious heaven-spelled-backwards spelling, it is just as often spelled Neveah (so really, heaven-misspelled-backwards! LOL), so I think you'd be in for a lifetime of spelling corrections/explanations with this one.

So trendy and overly-popular, definitely. Dated ... eventually (when all the little Nevaeh/Neveahs grow up and there are no more babies being saddled with the name). Classic or elegant, never!

Everywhere I look now I seem to see this "heaven backwards" name!

Is there a box for "hate it"? Certainly not classic or elegant. Perhaps consider Neve or even the Galic version Niamh (which is pronounced the same, NEEV). Both are much more lovely than Nevaeh.

I usually am pretty impartial to people's name choices but I would keep clear of this one. It is trendy and will probably become faddish, so that the name will be dated. Plus it really bothers me that it is 'heaven' spelled backwards. Sorry!

I guess we were pronouncing it wrong.

I really like Evie also. Perhaps you could think of a different full name for the nn Evie. Here are a few:


Eve
Eva
Evelyn
Neve (or the Irish spelling Niamh)
Genevieve
Evangeline/Evangelina

I have to state that I think Neveah is hideous. Aside from the whole heaven spelled backwards thing, it sounds hard to me and snobby as this sounds, it sounds low-class. It will never be elegant or a classic. Evie however is an adorable nickname for a number of other lovely names. Take a look at the other lists posted and you'll find plenty of choices. Eva or Eve are my two favorites.

oh goodness, please no!! This is so unbelievably crazy, I can't believe it has caught on as an actual name. I am sorry, it sounds incredibly trashy. I do like Evie, though--really cute! Even if you just named her Evie, it would be better.
